Hi Rob.
I don't understand why you had to enable threadsafe while someone else
have to disable it !!! threadsafe should usually be enabled (it's the
default configuration), disabling it can cause problems in thread
environments...

About "make check"... FreeTDS unlike many other projects require some
configurations in order to execute successfully "make check" you can't
just:
- download
- unpack
- configure
- make
- make check
!!!
You must configure a sql server to connect and check. Usually it require
to copy freetds.conf (from source) to your $HOME/.freetds.conf,
configure a server, edit PWD file (in source directory) and execute
"make check". In order to test ODBC too you must also set odbcinst.ini
(or ignore connect test error) and odbc.ini (with the same server name
used in freetds.conf).
